Chapter: What's wrong ?Kalvin wanted to retort, but he restrained himself. He was baffled by Vania's behavior. "You've been acting weird since we've been together," he said concernedly. "I don't know what's happening to me, please don't blame me," Vania pleaded with tears in her eyes. "Are you going crazy or what? What are you doing?" Kalvin thundered, frustrated by Vania's attitude. Vania was whimpering, as if she was the one who had been slapped. Kalvin decided to let it go, realizing he had to seek understanding rather than get angry. On election day, the whole country was immersed in palpable excitement and filled with anticipation. Among the many candidates vying for the legislative elections, there was a particular presence: the father of Kalvin, a respected and committed man, as well as the father of Vania, a charismatic and influential figure. The eyes of the nation were riveted on their respective political courses, as the fateful hour approached. The citizens, captivated by the democrat

Chapter: The wedding…..Zed didn't flinch because he had already seen the “file”. When Frédéric finished reading the letter, he asked to see the photos. There were 5 photos all taken close-up. The first showed 4 men in jackets in front of parliament. On the back of the photo it was mentioned: "Minister of finance on the right and his cabinet colleagues" Zed was surprised to recognize a man among the 4. Yes, his silhouette imposed itself in his memory as if he had known for a long time . He thought until he figured out who it was. "Old man, I think I recognize this man," he informed Frederic. The latter frowned. "Are you sure? Who it is?" he asked curiously. "Yes very sure. He is Kalvin's father I still remember him the day of the political show with Vania." answered Zed "You mean you've even talked to him before?" Frederic asked curiously. "Yes, by chance, he was the guest that day." said Zed "Interesting. I wonder how this Yamine could come up with that!" Frederic said "She has connect

Chapter: To the hospital…..Vania wanted to dissuade them but her parents were categorical. As soon as they decided, everyone set off for the hospital….. That evening, Zed had made the decision to open the sentencing case. He put it on the table and eyed it quizzically. “What could it possibly contain? was a question that only opening the case should answer. Between the curiosity to know what the famous file contained and the fear of knowing the truth, he was anxious. He pulled out the drawer, put the folder back and took a walk outside……. The hospital was staffed with nurses and patients. Vania and her parents were in the doctor's office. Vania had taken the trouble to tell the doctor what was happening to her.

Chapter: The marriage process….Vania slept soundly. She had a dream in which she saw herself running holding a little girl of barely 5 years old in her hand. A monstrous man was in pursuit. She cried out for help but no one came. The monstrous man was about to pounce on her when she let out a scream as she woke up. She was dripping with perspiration. She got out of bed, heart pounding, poured herself a glass of water. When she put the glass down, someone knocked on the door. She went to open. It was his mother and she was dressed in red pajamas…. Suddenly Vania felt nauseous again. She ran quickly into the bathroom. "But my daughter, what's wrong? I heard you scream," her mother asked. "It's alright mum it was just a nightmare." answered Vania "And why are you vomiting?" replied her mother "Something I can't stomach but it's ok. Please mum you can go to bed we'll talk about it in the morning." answered Vania "Okay, go see the doctor tomorrow, it's safer." said her mother "It'll be okay mom. I

Chapter: Reds…The next day, Zed had told Frédéric about his conversation with Yamine. "But what does she have to tell you that's so important?" Asked Frederic "I do not know yet." answered Zed "Hmm maybe she wants to flirt with you, eh, I would like a girl who flirts with me, it will make my job easier, I'm tired of chasing after them", commented Frédéric. "You're definitely not going to change my dear, I don't think what she has to say to me is sentimental given the tone in which she spoke to me on the phone." said Zed While they were talking, Zed's phone rang, it was Yamine. "Oh it's her!" Zed sighed. "Hi Yamine." he said after picking up "Hi Zed, how are you?" replied Yamine "Yes and you ?" replied Zed "Not bad. I just want to confirm the appointment today." said Yamine "Okay I told you I'll be there. Can I come with a friend?" asked Zed "Who's that Frederic?" replied Yamine "Hmm yes." answered Zed "No!
